Karl Lagerfeld is lending a helping hand to artists with the Karlbox professional toolkit from Faber-Castell. Known as the Kaiser to millions who have no idea what a Kaiser even is, Lagerfeld is offering fans the chance to channel (or perhaps Chanel) their inner artist via a collaboration with the German stationery and art company.
The Karlbox is a limited-edition kit for amateur artists, containing 350 pencils and accessories for painting and sketching, contained in a slick wooden presentation box.
The German designer said Faber-Castell, which he uses for his own work, brought back memories of his childhood. Each Karlbox comes with an authenticity certificate because, at this price you need one. The boxes went on sale last week, priced at €2,500.
